entree fi i l i LAYING-OUT CHART FOR QARMENT PARTS,

Application filed September 5, 1924. Serial No. 736,022.

T 0 all wieom it may concern.

Be it known that I, linominno Bnnnanoo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Laying-Out Charts for Garment Parts, of which the following is specification,

My invention relates to laying-out charts for garment parts.

The usual practice of laying-out cloth for making garments is such that it requires skill and measurements which make the work slow, tedious and expensive.

The objects of my invention are to provide a chart with which cloth may be quickly and accurately laid out into garment parts of any desired size without the exercise of skill or measurements.

These objects, and other advantageous ends which will be described hereinafter, I attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a chart made in accordance with my invention, and

Figure 2 a piece of cloth laid out into garmerit-parts by the chart shown in Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a sheet, preferably of flexible material. having; rows of openings 2 which are adapted for use in marking different size garmentparts. Each of the openings in each row is correspondingly numbered, the numbers indicating sizes of garment parts and rang ing from 32 to 48. The correspondingly numbered openings in each row constitute a series which are used for laying-out a garment-part, there being as many series of openings as there are sizes, each series being used to lay out a different sized garment part. For example, if it is desired to layout a garment-part, size 48, the series of openings marked 48 is used. If a size 40 is wanted, the series of openings marked 40 is used for laying-out the garment-part. When rows of openings for laying-out different garment-parts, such as the sleeve-upperpart, the collar, and the vest-forepart, etc., are in the same chart, the rows for laying-out one garment-part are marked with a symbol 3 and a color strip 4 and the rows for laying-out the other garment parts are marked with other symbols and color strips,

such as the symbol A and color blue for the sleeve-upperpart, the symbol B and color red for the collar and the symbol C and color green for the vest-forepart. The colored strips 4 distinguish the rows for layinc-out one garment-part from the rows for laying-out the other garment part, and the symbols 3 aid the eye in locating the row.

To lay-out a garment part, the chart is laid on the cloth 5, shown in Figure 2, and a pencil or other marker passed through the proper size series of openings to mark the cloth. If a garmentpart, size 48, is desired the pencil is passed through each opening in the series marked 48. This will. mark the cloth with points as shown at 6. A line 7 is then drawn on the cloth to connect the points. This line indicates the outline of the garment-part as it should be cut.

The outline of the sleeve-upperpart is shown at 8 in Figure 2 and is laid-out by the series of openings, size 48, in the rows marked with the symbol A and the blue color strip. The outline of the collar is shown at 9 and is laid out by the series of openings, size 48, in the rows marked with the symbol B and the red color strip. The outline of tie vest-forepart, is shown at 10 and is laid-out by the series of openings, size 48, in the rows marked with the symbol C and green color strip.

To inform the user which set of rows to use for laying-out a certain garn'ient-part, a table 11, with the names of the garmentparts, symbols and color strips, is printed on the sheet 1.

It is thus seen that with the use of my chart different garments may be quickly and accurately laid out t any desired size.

While I have described my invention as taking a particular form, it will be understood that the various parts may be changed without departing from the spirit thereof, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction set forth, but consider that 1am at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A garment part laying-out chart having a plurality of series of openings for laying out different garment parts of various sizes, the corresponding openings of each series being arranged in a row, and differently se o ed mar i utl n ng the r .Q the patterns for the different garment parts.

2, A garment part laying-Ont chart having a plurality of series of openings for laying out different arment parts of various sizes, the corresponding openings of each series being arranged in a row, a differently colored strip outlining the rows of the patterns for the different garment parts,'and a diflerent symboladjaoent the rows of the different patterns.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
